Causes of Absolutism
Before the time of the all-powerful monarchs, Europe had decentralized governments. Invasions by Vikings and other “barbarian” groups created fear amongst the population. This created a perfect environment for all-powerful leaders to rise.
Effects of Absolutism
Once absolute monarchs gained power, they began to consolidate, or reinforce, their power within their borders. They would set up large royal courts. These were an extended royal household, including all those who regularly attend to the monarch and royal family. Monarchs would do this in order to appear more powerful and to control the nobility. They also regulated religion to control the spread of ideas. If monarchs could control what the people were hearing, they could keep their power. Large bureaucracies were also created in order to control the economy.
How Absolute Was Their Rule?
How powerful a king or queen was depended on the state in question. England, Poland, and The Holy Roman Empire were less absolutist. The rulers in these states shared power with a legislative branch known as parliament. The people had greater freedoms and limits were placed on the ruler’s power.
At the other end of the scale, there were countries that were very absolutist such as France and the Ottoman Empire. These states had total control by their ruler who claimed divine right to rule and controlled the nobility. The best example is Louis XIV of France who called himself “the Sun King” because, like the sun was to the earth, he was to France. Then you had states that were somewhere in the middle of the scale such as Spain and Russia.
Alfred Thayer Mahan wrote a very important book "The influence of Sea Power Upon History" , this book and another one, gained recognition in Europe and set the example of how the British empire grew based on its naval power. This was like a teaching for the American in order to develop the concept of Manifest Destiny.
